With coronavirus cases subsiding and students poised to return to campuses for full-day instruction later this month, Newport-Mesa Unified officials are left to decide the future of remote-learning models many families had come to rely on during the pandemic.
Consequently, a cohort of students who for months have been livestreaming in-person classes at their home schools from the safety of their living rooms may have to reconsider their options come fall.
School board members in a special meeting last week decided they would continue a 100% virtual Cloud Campus for TK-12 students into the 2021-22 school year. The move, they reasoned, provides an online option for families hesitant to join the rush back to brick-and-mortar classrooms.
The Rincon del Diablo Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution put together holiday care packages for female military personnel who cannot travel home for the holidays.
The patriotic group shipped more than 1,500, care package items such as candy, soap and face masks, as part of Project Patriot.
The project supports deployed men and women in all branches of service and is one of more than 40 of the group’s service projects. From left with items for care packages, Rincon del Diablo members Shannon Merrill, Traci Merrill, Cindi Maher and Connie Munoz. Visit rincondeldiablodar.com.
